My Review-
This one movie that I have been wanting to watch for long time, now that I finally did I can say that I rather enjoyed it. Even though I have never seen Peter Sellers act before, but know that he is widely known as one of the funniest people during his acting career, and that he was the best part of the movie, also so was George C. Scott, who is mostly known for more dramatic roles rather than comedy. This movie was really funny when it need to be, and more serious with a hint of comedy between the side characters and the main characters. Set during the Cold War with Russia it asks what would happen if the wrong person started a nuclear war, and what goes on in the all private War Room at the Pentagon. It seems like Kubrick should have done more comedy during his career, but his more serious movies are the best. Peter Sellers is the one that made this movie funny, along with George C. Scott, both character's they played were over the top, and done perfectly. We even got to see a young James Earl Jones who had a small part in the film, who would later rise to fame as Darth Vader. This is one other Stanley Kubrick movie I have grown to like along with my all time favorite one, Full Metal Jacket.
